How Is MQA Fareing?

Rodman99999- Good question about the inroads. I have noticed that on Tidal’s MQA masters there are more and more albums added every day. I have been listening through the budget Bluesound Node 2 and have noticed some albums sound truly fantastic, others clearly the same as red book CD, still others not worth the time of day. Even some old albums like Ray Charles, “The Genius of Ray Charles” can be transformed by MQA masters. I have a Schiit DAC and an older Benchmark DAC that I can use. Even so the internal DAC on the Bluesound Node 2 sounds better with the well done MQA albums than those external DACs.
As with all opinions, I think one should listen to a streamer/ DAC of the complete unfolded MQA music before a judgement is made on quality of the sound.

How Is MQA Fareing?

Stereophile started off being very pro MQA.
But in the last three or four issues there were substantial hearing/lab test done in two part articles that spanned over two issues in which MQA didn’t come across as pro as what they first believed.

Then this that was the last article headed
"MQA Contexualized" with this picture below.

Thanks for those thoughts. Lately, the only info I found was this: https://www.stereophile.com/content/mqa-tested-part-2-fold

This week, at Mobile World Congress, wireless heavyweights will talk about the emerging 5G standard ...that looks like it will deliver 10x current bandwidth.  
So by the year 2020 we will be able to stream lossless 24/192k audio to our phones.
Any impact MQA makes will be short lived.
